Morgan James - Acoustic Cover Songs, Volume 3, 2016-2017

I've posted two Morgan James albums already, and not that many people have downloaded them so far. If you haven't given her a try, you're missing out. She has a truly impressive voice, the kind you'd expect of a Broadway star (and she has featured in Broadway plays). But the surprise twist is that all of the performances here are just her and an acoustic guitar. Like the other albums I'm posting for her, all the songs are cover versions, and she does a lot of songs that aren't typically done in the acoustic format. You can see that here, with covers of the likes of Prince, Tina Turner, and Soundgarden. So what's not to like? Give her a shot if you haven't already.

The vast majority of the songs were released by James through social media, and are unreleased on album. The sound quality is consistently high. Three of the songs are taken from a concert bootleg, but I've edited them to remove the audience applause at the end, so they fit in with the others.

Here are the original artists that made each song famous:

01 Gravity - John Mayer
02 Vultures - John Mayer
03 I'm Gonna Find Another You - John Mayer
04 If You Love Somebody Set Them Free - Sting
05 How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore - Prince
06 Funkier than a Mosquito's Tweeter - Ike & Tina Turner
07 I Love You More than You'll Ever Know - Blood, Sweat & Tears
08 Human Nature - Michael Jackson
09 What's Love Got to Do with It - Tina Turner
10 Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden
11 Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen

Here's the usual song list:

01 Gravity (Morgan James)
02 Vultures (Morgan James)
03 I'm Gonna Find Another You (Morgan James)
04 If You Love Somebody Set Them Free (Morgan James)
05 How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore (Morgan James)
06 Funkier than a Mosquito's Tweeter (Morgan James)
07 I Love You More than You'll Ever Know (Morgan James)
08 Human Nature (Morgan James)
09 What's Love Got to Do with It (Morgan James)
10 Black Hole Sun (Morgan James)
11 Hallelujah (Morgan James)

The cover art photo is a screenshot from one of the 2016 perofrmances here. But I didn't keep track of which one exactly.

    Hey Paul,

    haven't checked out this yet, but I checked the youtube link to "Dream On" you advertised...and while I was not that much into Miss James' singing on that track (too much "belt it out, Broadway-style" for me), Youtube suggested a song by Foxes and Fossils. I don't know if you're familiar with the band, but they should be right up your alley. They're a cover band, mostly acoustic. Definitely worth checking out...
